Seeing Nelson by bicycle

Bicycles are a great way to get around Nelson, but watch out for traffic! You can rent bicycles at a number of different locations around Nelson. Ask at your hotel's front desk to see if there is a particular shop that they recommend.

Even though Nelson is a friendly place, always use a bicycle lock when you're leaving your bike unattended even for a few minutes. If your rental bike gets stolen you are going to have to pay the shop for a new one.

If you're going to be visiting Nelson for an extended period, you can save a lot of money by purchasing a used bike at any of the Nelson thrift shops. Check the classified ads in the Nelson newspapers as well.
